are the same. Lastly, Bilabials as the Place of Articulation is also applicable to this extract

easy to produce and that it conveys a sense of happiness and joyfulness. There are three
Rhyme Schemes that are mentioned. These Rhyme Schemes creates variety in enunciating
the rhymes which adds to the effect of gleefulness of the extract as it changes syllables within
the line itself. The initial rhymes are also Alliterated which made the joyous beat possible
because of the repetition of the initial /b/ sound of the rhymes. Because of the Alliteration,
the Bilabial /b/ sound is given more emphasis as the Alliteration is repeated so is the
gleeful /b/ sound.
